Ladder (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
1 : a structure for climbing up or down that consists essentially of two long sidepieces joined at intervals by crosspieces on which one may step.
2 : something that resembles or suggests a ladder in form or use; especially : RUN
3 : a series of usually ascending steps or stages : SCALE
In Ladder Leagues, each Player's objective is to climb the Ladder and reach the Top, i.e. #1. Each step on the Ladder is called Rank; the Highest Rank is #1 followed by #2 then #3 and so on.
If your Rank is 3274 and you defeat the Player Ranked 1258, your rank becomes (3274+1258)/2 = 2266.
If your Rank is 165 and you defeat the Player Ranked 12, your rank becomes (165+12)/2 = 138.
- Your rank on the Ladder does not change or go down if you lose a match unless your opponent is ranked Directly below you. Example:
If your Rank is 32 and you are defeated by the Player Ranked 33, your rank becomes 33 and your opponent Rank becomes 32.
- When a Player moves to a Rank above you, your Rank will go down.
Player Ranked #1 and Crown Match
If the Top Player (Rank #1) does not defend his/her crown for 3 days; s/he moves to Rank #2; Player at Rank #3 moves to Rank #1, and Player at Rank #2 moves to Rank #3.
#1 >>> #2 #2 >>> #3 #3 >>> #1
